The real split between Xprinter XP-D281B and XP-D481B is label class: the first is a direct-thermal printer for 20–60 mm media with up to 56 mm print width; the second is a 4-inch industrial unit for 40–120 mm media and 108 mm print width. Do not pick a winner from graphics wording. Official tables list 1D and 2D barcode printing on both, including QR, PDF417, and DataMatrix — that is printing codes, not scanning them.
Choose XP-D281B when daily labels stay within 20–60 mm: shelf prices, small SKUs, or narrow stickers. It is clearly lighter (1.3 kg vs 3.15 kg), measures 220×131×170 mm, and the shop listing shows USB. Current stock is higher: 28 units versus 4.
Choose XP-D481B when you print shipping or carton labels nearer 110 mm; XP-D281B cannot cover that width. OEM size is 220×187×96 mm, and the listed shop interface is USB+LAN. Factory Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are optional and do not prove this SKU is equipped.
Both are Direct Thermal at 203 DPI and up to 203 mm/s. Roll width is not print width. The current ~$75 vs ~$185 gap is justified only if you need the 110 mm class. Verdict: pick label width first, then the model — there is no absolute winner outside that axis.
The models differ mainly by label class: XP-D281B takes 20–60 mm media and prints up to 56 mm; XP-D481B takes 40–120 mm media and prints up to 108 mm. Both are Direct Thermal, 203 DPI, up to 203 mm/s, with 1D/2D barcode printing. XP-D281B is lighter (1.3 kg) at 220×131×170 mm with USB on the listed SKU; XP-D481B is heavier (3.15 kg) at 220×187×96 mm with USB+LAN. Factory Wi-Fi/Bluetooth are optional. Stock is 28 vs 4.
If your labels stay within 60 mm, XP-D281B is enough, lighter, and more available (28 vs 4). If you need labels closer to 110 mm, choose XP-D481B — XP-D281B print width stops at 56 mm.
Based on current prices, Label Printer Xprinter XP – D281B is the cheaper option. It costs 75 USD versus 185 USD for Label Printer Xprinter XP - D481B. The price difference is 110 USD, about 59.5% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
No. XP-D281B takes 20–60 mm media and prints up to 56 mm. XP-D481B takes 40–120 mm media and prints up to 108 mm. Buy by the print width you actually need on the label, not by the 60 mm or 110 mm class name alone.
Yes, per the manufacturer tables: both support 1D and 2D barcodes including QR, PDF417, and DataMatrix. That is printing a code on the label, not scanning codes with a camera.
That is not proven. The factory lists them as installed options, while the listed interfaces are USB on XP-D281B and USB+LAN on XP-D481B. Do not assume wireless is fitted until you check the unit you receive.
Both are rated up to 203 mm/s (up to 8 ips) at 203 DPI, Direct Thermal. Do not compare that figure with line/s on a dot-matrix printer; the units are not the same.
Current prices are about $75 for XP-D281B and $185 for XP-D481B. The gap pays for the wider 108 mm print class and a heavier body, not for a barcode advantage. If you only print 60 mm labels, skip the premium.
XP-D281B currently has 28 units; XP-D481B has 4. If you need the 110 mm class, order sooner because supply is thin; the 60 mm class is easier to get.
